JACK
Hawaii Premiere
Directed by Edward Berger. Germany. 2014. 103 minutes. German with English subtitles.
Hawaii Premiere
Winner of the 2015 German Film Award Best Film in Silver. Berlin-based and New York-trained director Edward Berger delivers a pleasingly non-judgmental yet stirring tale about courage and responsibility. Jack runs. Everything he does is infused with purpose, every muscle in his taut little body focused on getting things done. Getting up on time, waking his little brother Manuel, going to school, preparing dinner all a lot for a child, but with a single mother, Sanna, who's sweet, girlish and utterly unable to cope, Jack runs the house and runs it well. Until an accident breaks their little community apart: Child Welfare assigns Jack to a state-run home. When the holidays arrive, but Sanna doesn't pick him up and another boy bullies him with tragic results, he flees on foot across the vast expanse of Berlin. To Sanna, who is nowhere to be found, he picks up Manuel from a friend of his mother's, and crisscrosses the city in search of his mother. Jack runs into trouble. The two boys need food, rest, sleep, but Jack keeps going, fear and anguish written in his face, desperately searching for Sanna, desperate to avoid being sent back to the home. Jack runs out of steam. After what seems like an eternity, Jack finds Sanna. And comes to a drastic realization...
